In 1936 the great Fred Perry won the Wimbledon men's tennis championship for the third time.
In between there have been British women's champions. There have been male hopes - Bobby Wilson, Roger Taylor, Mark Cox, John and David Lloyd, Andrew Castle, Tim Henman. But not until today Has a Brit again won the men's.
Congratulations Andy Murray.
Andy's early life included being a pupil at Dunblane School when a gunman shot dead a class of 5 and 6 year olds. I can't imagine living any kind of a life after an experience like that.
So wonderful that he's won.. I am so pleased for him...
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the last game, too nervous..however all my neighbours (and Jim) were watching..so I heard he'd won anyway...the joys of tv watching combined with open windows :)
ReplyDeleteI am pleased for him, though..he's fought hard to get where he is today
He was at that school when it happened? I remember that. Wow.
ReplyDeleteNot really a Murray-ite, but he certainly deserved to win that match and lift that trophy.
